Aluminium shopfronts across Devon
From Newton Abbot to Exmouth, we deliver aluminium shopfronts for independent owners and multi-site operators across Devon, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
An aluminium shopfront is the glazed frame, doors and stallriser that make up the front of a shop, made to measure in powder-coated aluminium with toughened or laminated safety glass.
Local projects in Devon
In Devon we mostly see salons, barbers and beauty clinics and high street units and corner shops. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
Planning and building control in Devon
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
Questions about aluminium shopfronts in Devon
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Devon?
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront?
Usually yes, because it changes the look of the building. Like-for-like repairs often don't. We check with the council for you.
How long does a shopfront take to make?
Manufacture is typically three to five weeks after the survey and drawings are approved. Fitting is usually one or two days.
Do you cover Newton Abbot and the rest of Devon?
Yes. We carry out aluminium shopfronts in Newton Abbot, Exmouth and across Devon. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
